Escrow.com Adds Security to Moving and Shipping Transactions


Orange County, CA (PRWEB) February 26, 2013

Escrow.com, the pioneer of online escrow services, and CitizenShipper.com, a leading online shipping marketplace, today announced a strategic relationship where Escrow.com will become the preferred method of payment and exclusive escrow provider for CitizenShipper.com transactions.

The strategic relationship is significant for CitizenShipper.com as they will now be able to offer equal protection for shippers, for non-payment, and consumers, for non-delivery of goods. The adoption rate of consumer and business portals recommending Escrow.com has been significant, says Andrew K. Sokol – Escrow.com GM, Emerging Markets.????He adds, Working with the folks at CitizenShipper.com is proof again that these portals want to provide the safest and most secure environment possible.

CitizenShippers goals are to reduce the US carbon footprint and save consumers money by matching shipments and moves with routes already mapped out by drivers, movers and truckers. And with 29% of trucks on the roads today driving empty (US Department of Transportation, 2012), Richard Obousy, CEO of CitizenShipper.com, says With savings as high as 90% over traditional shipping more and more people are coming to CitizenShipper to ship their stuff. Obousy continues, “By working with Escrow.com we further our ambition to create a secure marketplace and a safe environment for transactions.”

When using Escrow.com, Shippers are protected against non-payment and Consumers are protected against non-delivery of goods. It takes minutes to set up a transaction and once both parties agree to the terms, the Consumer is instructed to make payment to Escrow.com. Once funds have been secured Escrow.com notifies the Shipper to pick up and deliver the goods. Upon delivery, the Consumer then logs back on to Escrow.com to confirm acceptance of the goods.

Brandon Abbey – Escrow.com President and Managing Director says, Like other verticals in the eCommerce space, the shipping and moving industry has had significant issues with fraud. Abbey adds, We provide a risk-free solution that protects both sides of the transaction equally. I envision Consumers asking to use our service and Shippers offering it as the only secure payment option available. We look forward to a long term and successful partnership with CitizenShipper.

StorageUnitAuctionList.com Adds Tens of Thousands of Storage Facilities to the Largest Storage Facility Database Worldwide


Asheville, NC (PRWEB) April 25, 2012

Even twenty-first century treasure hunters need a map that they can count on. As the curiosity in storage unit auction hunting continues to surge across the United States, so does the bar continue to rise for online databases to deliver auction itineraries that collectors and entrepreneurs can trust. As an integral feature to its completely revamped website, StorageUnitAuctionList.com has further revolutionized the auction hunting process by creating unique, navigable add-on web pages for each and every storage facility that it draws data from, making it one of the largest, most comprehensive, accurate, and user-friendly auction finding tools on the web.

Along with launching its all-new storageunitauctionlist 2.0 on April 3rd, 2012, the websites developers have also added over forty-three thousand unique storage facilities that the company receives data from in order to aid subscribers in honing in on self storage auctions in their home town as well as those nearby.

This new feature has been implemented to reinforce storageunitauctionlists commitment to both auction quantity and listing quality, ensuring that its users small subscription fees are well spent. A subscriber no longer needs to weed through a blocky, disorganized list of auction information irrelevant to their region, a trait prevalent in free sites. Now, SUAL.com navigators can click the Browse Facilities Near You feature to pull up all of the active auction sites that are located in and around a bidders local community. Users can now easily add these facilities as Favorite Facilities, so that when these facilities do have auctions scheduled, those dates will be automatically added to their auction itineraries for future reference. Users can set alerts for these auctions via SMS or email notifications, depending on preference. Keeping in mind that some small towns are not nearly as active with auctions as major metropolitan suburbs, a Facility Page will also conveniently list the addresses, dates and times for upcoming neighboring auctions if there are none listed for the facility they are browsing. An additional perk is the self-updating weather table feature, which is present on each page and reflects the weather conditions at any given self-storage auction, coast to coast.

StorageUnitAuctionList.com has always strived to keep one step ahead of competing websites by having a surefire, interactive relationship with their nationwide provisional facilities, evidenced by the custom page additions. The website embodies all of the best features of similar sites, such as storagetreasures.com, auctionzip.com, and storagefront.com to ensure its users are getting everything they need from one source. Unlike these free resources, there is no guesswork involved in SUALs data or data gathering methods. Auctions are actively delivered to the site by our associate facilities via a simple form, and SUALs staff in turn verifies that the auction is still live by re-contacting the facility forty eight hours prior to the auction. Unlike auctionzip.com, for example, who gathers its data solely through individual auctioneers, storageunitauctionlist cuts out the middle man and actively pursues auctions that are imminent and beneficial to the smooth business of the facility owners themselves.????

The one thing everyone has to keep in mind when thinking about storage auctions is that they exist for a reason, said Maddison Lake, President and Founder of storageunitauctionlist.com. To most storage facility operators, storage auctions are vital to recover losses on delinquent accounts and free up additional space for new customers. We have never forgotten, and as a result, weve done our best to make it easier for self storage operators to quickly and conveniently list their auctions on our website, to reach a more serious, motivated and driven force of auction hunters in their local areas.

With the viral popularity of storage auction television shows (Storage Wars, Auction Hunters, et al), there has come an overwhelming mob of brand new auction goers who attend with no intention to bid, often to the dismay of both the facility owners and serious attendees, new or seasoned. Free online listings are often simply too transparent, pulled second handedly from local news sources, driving in hoards of amateur bidders. Storageunitauctionlist.com is a unique service because it aids facility owners in freeing up costly, delinquent lockers by delivering them serious, prepaying, high bidding customers who discovered their auction through an exclusive, high caliber source. Through the brand new series of facility by facility web pages, customers will find their auction locating process that much simpler so they can focus on winning lockers. As for the auction providers, they are happy to now have their own web page, driving in an elite bidding environment where everyone is participating.

For modern treasure hunters looking to scour the units across the entire countryside, or for the conservative collector simply seeing what relics their local community holds, StorageUnitAuctionList.coms addition of over forty-thousand additional pages, each complete with a self-updating weather feature for those looking to avoid grey skies, has further helped the company zero in on their goal of always revolutionizing the experience of the bidders themselves.

StorageUnitAuctionList.com was founded by serial entrepreneur Maddison Lake in Asheville, North Carolina in the winter of 2010. The website draws from forty-three thousand self-storage locations on a daily basis to compile the most accurate and updated auction listing data possible for bidders. The entries include each auctions state, city, facility name and address, and approximately how many units are being auctioned off in order to afford subscribers surefire itineraries. Their large, in house staff of over 25 full time employees is comprised of call center representatives, customer support, web engineers, data verifiers, researchers and facility liaisons, all working around the clock to connect their clientele with experts and expert information on all things self-storage auction related.

The websites primary office is located in Asheville, North Carolina at 9 SW Pack Square 28801. A representative can be reached at 1-800-353-8417, and all inquiries concerning our new site, policies, future plans, or subscriptions can be mailed to info(at)StorageUnitAuctionList(dot)com.

Vetted International Adds Support to Government Contractors with DNA Collection, Storage and Analysis

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) May 13, 2012

Vetted International, Ltd. (http://www.vetted-intl.com) continues its support of the Department of Defense by providing services to US contractors in the collection and storage of DNA.

Generally, all contractor personnel who support U.S. Forces in contingency operations are required to collect and store DNA for the period for which an employee is deployed overseas in support of contingency operations according to the MOD 11 to the USCENTCOM Individual Protection and Individual-Unit Deployment Policy. Medical personnel, both employed and contracted by Vetted International, collect DNA specimen samples for use in identification of human remains if needed.

A bloodstain DNA card specimen has proven itself far superior to previous identification methods, says Brenda Williams RN, MPH of Vetted Corporate Headquarters. The process used by Vetted International is the preferred method of casualty identification by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs. Furthermore, having a DNA sample on file is a way for a company to be proactive and account for their personnel in case disaster strikes. It is also a way to assist the families of deployed personnel in healing and closure.

DNA is stored as part of the medical record inside a secure vault protected by state of the art security systems, environmental controls, and strict access control policies. US citizen specimens are stored in the Vetted International DNA Bank or are transported directly to the Armed Forces Repository Specimen Sample for Identification of Remains (AFRSSIR). Contrary to the AFRSSIR, non-US citizen contractors can have their DNA stored in the Vetted International DNA Bank as well as US citizens.

Vetted International is currently collecting DNA worldwide while storing and conducting analysis in the United States. DNA is private and personal and Vetted International understands the complex legal and ethical guidelines associated with collecting and storing DNA. Protecting an individuals health record, a persons DNA sample and their privacy is of paramount importance, added Ashley Nicholson, the Technical Services Case Manager at Vetted Corporate Headquarters. Vetted Internationals staff is fully HIPAA compliant and only authorized individuals have access to the bank. The DNA will never be used for any other purpose than identification of remains and the sample can be destroyed after exiting the theater per the donors request. Vetted Internationals DNA Bank is secure, private and reliable.

Vetted International is a corporate and government solution based company headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Vetted utilizes a global network of integrity driven local national professionals to minimize risk and implement responsive action plans in various permissive & non-permissive environments.
